Dear all
I need a comment from You
Brief story:
In the last year (February 2014), my wife had a mole removed from her back (near spatula). Mole was removed for aesthetic reasons because it do not expanded, do not itched, there was no redness, etc. Unfortunately, the mole was burned by laser (stupidity does not hurt). After the scab fell off it turned out that the mole started to grow again. For this reason, we went to a surgeon to remove what has grown. It turned out that it was a melanoma (Clark III, Breslow 0.6 mm), but we do not really know what were the characteristics of the primary tumor. In the next stage wife had biopsy of sentinel lymph nodes. The result was positive. Metastasis to the two sentinel nodes as single cells and cell clusters on a length of 2 mm. The result was a complete lymphadenectomy (September 2014). Analysis showed that the remaining nodes were clean. We were offered participation in clinical trials. To this end, they sent lymph nodes and a mole from her back to indicate the BRAF status. In the case of a mole they failed to determine the BRAF status as ,, Quantity not Sufficient to test'' what I understand. However, in the case of nodes result was as follows:
BRAF status – No tumor Indicated
BRAF comment – Result of no tumor confirmed by 2 Pathologists.
In February wife had a CT scan and everything is in order.
Do you think such a result should prompt us to re-execute the histological examination of sentinel lymph nodes? We not yet talked with our doctor about this.
Best
